senator max bachus of montana, good evening, senator. so you're supposed to be negotiating all this out with the republicans and the hesitant democrats to gain bipartisanship with a wholly owned subsidiary of the health sector. bipartisanship that will get you what? a total of no votes? and your price has been, let's see, $414,000 in donations from hospitals, $667,000 in donations from insurance companies, just over a million from big pharma, $1.2 00,000 from nursing homes. when you think of getting $237,000 in campaign contributions from nursing homes, senator baucus, do you ever think about whether they subtract that amount of money evenly from all the patients suffering and dying in the lousy ones or just a few of the lousy ones? so much for senator baucus. sadly, this list could go on almost all night, too. i could ask blue dog congressman democrat john tanner, tennessee, if since he has gotten $215,000 from hospitals over the years if i and the appropriate number of my friends were willing to make it $216,000 if we could buy his vot

outside a town hall event in bozeman, montana democrat max bachus shouted down with chants of no, no, no and getting a little confused about the crazy things called video cameras, describing the protestors to "the new york times" as, quote, agitateors whose sole goal was to intimidate, disrupt, and not let any meaningful conversation go on. there were a couple of people in the crowd with youtubes mr. bachus added, meaning cameras. and he posited the agitateors were paid and probably from out of state. i could just sense it he said. first hint that some of the senator's instincts might be admirable but it is wrapped inside the caustic reminder this is the brain trust now running health care for democrats in the senate. meanwhile in another town hall event in dartmouth, mass last night congressman barney frank dismissing a nazi comparison as all such comparisons should be dismissed. >> they say we need to limit medicare expenditures in order to do that, in order to reduce the deficit. that's the origin of this policy. this is the t4 policy of the hitler policy in 1939 where he said cert

but in montana, in north dakota, in states like that, that money goes a long, long way. so it's a lot cheaper to buy those senators, and those senators are more than happy to make that money because it sort of frees them from the responsibility or the chore of having to raise money from actual average, regular americans. it's easier to get that $5,000 check or that pac money than it is to ask some regular american for a $20 contribution. >> so what do we do about this now? >> well, i mean, we're going to have to keep fighting the way we're fighting it. it's a propaganda war in a lot of ways. i mean, you have the insurance companies doing these -- these astroturf protests trying to sort of create this impression that this is a broad american mandate against health care reform. we see the polls. we see the numbers. it's obviously not true. americans want reform. they want it desperately. and i think we need to keep talking about it and keep pushing and keep calling and writing legislators and reminding them that they made a campaign promise to support and to reform the sys
